Kyudo Association of Canada - Edmonton Dojo

Kyudo was introduced in Edmonton by David Austen, who brought the first yumi as well as his practice and knowledge of Heki Ryu Bishu Chikurin Ha to the Capital Region Archery Club.

The shift to the IKYF Renmei style of Kyudo happened around 2018 when Héloïse Torck began leading regular weekly practice sessions, which started the Edmonton Dojo. Since then the group has slowly continued to grow, practicing together every week and organizing yearly seminars.

Thanks to the support of Capital Region Archery Club, the Edmonton Dojo is able to provide yumi (bows), ya (arrows), and kake (gloves) for beginners in addition to a regular place to practice.
